I just downloaded and installed Vector 7.1 RC to my older HP NC6400 laptop. The installation went smoothly, until it hung up while trying to install lilo.

I shut the laptop down, rebooted into Puppy Linux Slacko, and used Grub4dos to configure the bootup process.

The system then booted into Vector with the message that wifi was disconnecting. I'm using a Samsung tablet as a wifi hotspot, and the 'vector' hostname showed as connected until that warning message appeared.

I found the connection service on the menu, but there doesn't appear to be any way to discover a network. This same laptop connects fine with Puppy Slacko.

The Network app did not show my network. It said that I had a hidden network, and I had to type the full network name and choose the encryption type. It doesn't seem like this would work at a public wifi location.
